Why do you think this video was fake AI generated?
edit: To be clear, I’m not suggesting the story is accurate. I’m questioning why OP things this specific video is AI generated as opposed to a real video being taken out of context.
I’m not inclined to trust The Daily Wire, but I also can’t exactly see anything that stands out like crazy that makes me think it’s fake.
It definitely has a somewhat surreal feeling look to it, but I’ve been tracking various faces and objects in the background and they don’t seem to move, change, or distort at all in a way that’s unnatural.
Either AI video generation technology got insanely good (or they just had a very lucky break with happening to get a good quality output) and I’m simply not able to fully identify it, or the video is real but the context and quote is what’s fake.
I think we rescued a point where AI videos have Uncanny Valley status, and because of that, any unusual thing, or less than great quality in a real video will make us doubt its authenticity. A person who is unaware of generative AI (but aware of CGI in general) will probably not think this is fake.
I’m inclined to think this is real. It bears no signs of the Hallmark tells of an AI video. Everything looks very solid and non-deforming.
I think the feeling weird might just be that the depth of field is narrow and keeps changing. It creates a really strange look. No idea I’d thats a common thing in AI video but it seems like it could just be a quirk of how they chose to film…
As far as I’m aware, it’s not. Most AI video is consistently clear, or at most just low resolution. (i.e. it tends to maintain a consistent visual style for each clip, without much changing to composition, lighting, style, depth of field, etc)
I was originally inclined to think that the blurring was added in post, to cover up moments where the AI generated footage did something that made it obvious it was AI, but even regardless of that the faces, positioning, and lighting in the background remained pretty consistent across the length of the video, which AI tends to not be very good with. (i.e. in a crowd of people faces will randomly appear, disappear, move, change height, etc in a way that’s unnatural)
I zoomed in on one frame - it’s a kind mess of abstract lines and smears, but it also could be AI enhancement with a modern phone, imo. I’d like additional supporting evidence as well.
I don’t know anything about how cameras are “enhancing” pictures/videos but in your still I would wonder 1: how is this wire supposedly connected to these randomly placed fence posts, and 2 what is happening here, arms and faces all through the wiring?
Any wire I’ve ever used would bend and easily be pulled down by a person trying to climb over it, it can’t be electric, because people are all touching it
it’s a grid, like the fence in front of it. camera sensors are also grids. if they line up just the right way you can get a moiré pattern that hides details.
The same reporter, in her post before it, same fence supposedily. The gate appears to be for that fence, which sounds as if to be for crowd management. No signs of Hamas being present at said gate/fence or else the troops present would either be giving or taking fire. The stories don’t line up either
Either that or the fence is a standing structure in the cement and had nothing to do with the aid delivery, which means they would be manipulating a narrative completely.

There were a few hiccups today, including the contractors distributing aid needing to fall back to relieve pressure at a gate. But once they didc, order was immediately restored, according to my source.
I completely suck at telling AI stuff, but Hamas soldiers can’t take three steps outside without being bombed and these morons want us to think they had the time or resources to set up something like that? The claim is fake either way.
Tbh, it doesn’t matter, the video doesn’t show anything. Its just some random guy and people cheering. It could have been shot in Croatia for all we know.

I think I might be going insane. Every rock, face and little detail remains the same, yet it feels weird af.
Can we no longer trust any media?

people are pushing on the fence, breaking it.

oh the story is 100% wrong. the video doesn’t match it. doesn’t mean the video is not real.
Here, this helps your theory that it’s a real fence. Best I could find
Throwing in for good measure, where they are being let through the gate, not having to break it down:
The video is on her own history
Found another supposed camera view
So the fences all appear to be set up by the distribution network by the looks of that
